Young football fans are lapping up the opportunity to spend time with their favourites, as players from both sides of Friday's clash spend time in the community.

Yesterday Yipirinya School got a visit from Richmond's Dustin Martin, Shane Tuck, Brett O'Hanlon and Steven Morris, who spent time talking to the kids about the importance of education, health and nutrition.

Physical Education teacher Joseph Relic says there's been more kids at school this week than they've seen in a while.

"We haven't had attendance numbers in the last few years like we've had in the last week...that vibe around town, there's a lot of influx from communities, people coming into town...it's really starting to rev up."

Midfielder Dustin Martin and his team mates found themselves mobbed at the end of one session.

"They're very enthusiastic!" he says.

"It was good to get amongst it to be honest, it brought a smile to my face."

But there's no doubting the Indigenous All-Stars are the main attraction this week and hundreds attended yesterday's Super Clinic at Traeger Park where kids took part in training exercises and lined up for autographs.

Although not playing in Friday's match due to injury, Buddy Franklin didn't disappoint - plenty of kids got to rub shoulders with the Hawks star-forward as he posed for photos and gave out autographs.

Today players are heading out to a range of communities including Mutitjulu, Areyonga and Hermannsburg - hopefully they'll have enough energy left over for Friday night...
